Distance & flight time from IEJ
Iejima Airport
IEJ is Iejima Airport, located on Ie Island (Iejima) just off the coast of Okinawa, Japan. This small airport primarily supports flights connecting the island to Naha, Okinawa's main hub, serving residents and visitors to Iejima's beaches and the Lily Field Festival that draws seasonal tourism. The island also has a notable wartime history, having been the site of intense fighting during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. IEJ's runway is short, suited to small turboprop aircraft rather than jets, and the airport itself is a modest facility reflecting the island's small year-round population and its niche role as a tourism and lifeline connection point within the Ryukyu Islands chain.
